    excess play in manual shift lever

    Transmission works fine and stays in gear, but the shift lever experiences alot of play left to right while it is in every gear. What is to blame?

    Worn out bushings.

        Could also be a worn out lever itself, the lower pushing in the shift lever on mine is worn out....
